The period of performance of the contract is October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2025. PROGRAM OBJECTIVES The USAID Rural Water Supply (RWS) Activity aims to improve health and resilience in Tajikistan through increased sustainable access to safe drinking water in rural communities. To ensure that access improvements are sustained, the USAID Rural Water Supply Activity targets three mutually reinforcing objectives: ● Increase access to safely managed drinking water in rural Tajikistan through the rehabilitation/construction of small-scale infrastructure projects. ● Establish reliable and commercially viable drinking water services through improved management and access to finance. ● Increase engagement of communities in oversight and accountability of drinking water service providers. Collaboration with local government, drinking water providers, and target communities will ensure reliable and sustainable drinking water services. PURPOSE OF THIS REPORT The purpose of the present report is to lay out the methodology adopted by RWS to select the specific water systems that will receive construction/rehabilitation and/or technical assistance. This methodology employs two steps: first select districts and then choose water systems. RWS is considering several criteria to ensure that the chosen water systems, and the operational and management models they will become, end up being both sustainable and replicable. This methodology was defined and is being used in collaboration with government authorities at region (oblast), district (raion) and jamoat levels. SITE SELECTION PLAN 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY RWS is expected to work in a minimum of five districts and support a minimum of twelve water systems through construction/rehabilitation and/or technical assistance activities. RWS is expected to work in rural areas, thus excluding cities and towns. DISTRICT SELECTION PROCESS RWS started by identifying target districts, aiming to cover the three main provinces of Tajikistan, i.e. Khatlon in the south, Sughd in the north, and the central Region of Republican Subordination (RRS). It was decided to select a total of six districts, two per province. Nine districts were initially selected based on discussions with the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources, the State Committee on Investments and State Property Management, SUE KMK and the State Institution "Tojikobdehot", as well as consultations with regional authorities and donors supporting the rural drinking water sector. The nine initial districts were specifically: • Jomi and Yovon in Khatlon province • Hissor, Rudaki, and Varzob in the Republican Subordination Region • Ayni, Isfara, Konibodum, and Panjakendt in Sugdh province Based on further consultations with oblast and district authorities in Khatlon, Sughd and RRS, the nine initial districts were confirmed, with a tenth district, Gafurov in Sughd province, included for consideration. The following criteria were then used to screen all ten districts: • Density of rural population • Economic strength • Financial situation as potential for cost sharing • Population income as potential for financial viability • Potential for private sector engagement • Accessibility of target district from Dushanbe and/or Khujand (logistical and security considerations) • Willingness and motivation of district authorities to collaborate • Current access of rural population to drinking water services • Existing donor presence to support the rural drinking water sector Each district was evaluated for each criterion using that scale, and it has been decided to finally select the six districts which received higher scores: • Gafurov and Konibodom in Sughd province • Jomi and Yovon in Khatlon province • Hissor and Rudaki in RRS This selection was validated in discussions with the regional and district authorities. SITE SELECTION PLAN 2 SITE SELECTION PROCESS Upon selection of the six target districts, RWS has engaged district and jamoat authorities to conduct an inventory of existing rural drinking water systems. The inventory collects only basic information, such as location, served population, operating entity and functional status of the water system, along with contact information (see jamoat inventory questionnaire in Annex B). Using the inventory results, RWS intends to proceed in two stages: - First reduce the number to about 30-50 preselected water systems based on several criteria (rural systems of sufficient size, owned by jamoat or government entity, preferably using groundwater, and at least partially functional) - Apply a detailed capacity assessment questionnaire (being developed) to collect information from those 30-50 water systems - Also assess the willingness of the served communities and corresponding mahala committees to collaborate - Select a final batch of 15-20 water systems, out of which about 12 will also receive construction/rehabilitation support. The final list of target water systems will be shared with USAID by end of Q2. This initial batch may be adjusted in the future based on the responsiveness of system managing entities, the engagement of the communities and the support of local authorities. Collaboration, cost-sharing or other leveraging opportunities may also guide RWS towards different water systems in future years. SITE SELECTION PLAN 3 I. BACKGROUND The challenge at hand is to identify water systems that are serving rural communities (no towns and cities, which are served by SUE KMK, with urban systems being supported by several donors), but are large enough to be worth of RWS support (i.e. USAID investment) and be interesting for a potential private operator: - Served community should have at least 2000-3000
